The soldiers acted quickly, digging a large pit in about a quarter of an hour, laying it with thatch that looked as if it were flat ground, and thirty soldiers had a sack of earth hidden in the dark with their hands and feet.

A soldier twitched his nose: "Big brother, what is the purpose of the general's move, digging a big hole at the door of the camp tent, aren't you afraid of falling down when you go to the toilet at night?" ”

The ten-man soldier knocked on the soldier's head: "Don't speak, the general's plan is something we can guess." This will have a deep meaning, and we can just wait. The general had instructed that the wee hours of the morning were the most exhausting time for a person, and everyone should stay awake. ”

At this time, Dong Zhuo was camping, Hua Xiong woke up from his slumber, saw Dong Zhuo in his room, and hurriedly asked Dong Zhuo how the casualties of his soldiers were.

"There were fewer than 900 survivors, and all of them were injured." Dong Zhuo sighed. "Did you not do what Zhao Yi instructed?"

Hua Xiong replied truthfully: "Zhao Yi asked people to make the beams of the house into long sticks, I don't know what they mean. I asked what was the use, but Zhao Yi did not explain to me on the pretext that secrets in the army should not be passed on. I returned to the camp and did not act according to Zhao Yi's instructions, but ordered the construction of an earthen wall, I wanted to use the Yellow Turban Army to destroy Zhao Yi outside the city first, who would have thought that the long stick that Zhao Yi made last night would have a special effect. ”

Dong Zhuo snorted: "How can you act so recklessly!" Almost put the whole army to death! Don't do that in the future, just rest well. Dong Zhuo left here.

As soon as Hua Xiong thought of Zhao Yi riding away on his horse today, he hated the roots of his teeth, his fists clenched and gurgling, and his eyes flashed when he stared at his big knife.

Hua Xiong, dressed in black late at night, found out of Dong Zhuo's camp and went straight to Zhao Yi's camp. Unlike the loose situation of Dong Zhuo's military camp, the soldiers of Zhao Yi's camp were still patrolling energetically in the early morning.

Hua Xiong was almost discovered by the guards several times during the walk, and finally walked to Zhao Yi's tent. Hua Xiong stared at Zhao Yi's tent with cold eyes, the sword in his hand was clenched tightly, and he thought about how to kill Zhao Yi after a while.

Less than three feet away from the tent, Hua Xiong was ready to open the curtain, and at this moment, his feet were empty, his eyes showed a look of panic, and his body involuntarily fell forward.

Hua Xiong, who fell into the pit and fell into a lot of meat, has not yet come to his senses, why is there a big pit in Zhao Yi's main tent, he heard a burst of shouting, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a lot of bags falling from his mouth.

He grinned when he smashed it, and his body was also restrained by this dirt bag. He pushed away the two bags of dirt that were pressed against his head, and shook his groggy head as he thought about how to break free from the shackles of the dirt bags.

A voice came from above: "Don't move! ”

More than a dozen spears were pressed against Hua Xiong's chest and neck, and those soldiers stared condescendingly at Hua Xiong in the pit. Hua Xiong's face was pale, and Zhao Yi had long expected that he would come back to assassinate.

The ten men smiled and said, "Your Excellency is really clever, you even know that someone will come to assassinate you tonight." He beckoned to the soldiers around him: "Go and tell your lord, that the assassin has been caught." ”

Zhao Yi woke up when there was movement outside, and saw the soldier coming in: "Caught the assassin?" ”

The soldier stared at Zhao Yi with adoring eyes and nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's let him stay in the pit for now, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Zhao Yi explained, "Call General Yang and say that I have something to discuss." ”

Zhao Yi, who was in high spirits in the early morning, glanced at Hua Xiong in the pit: "General, we meet again, I don't know where Bolai offended the general, so that the general has to kill me?" ”

"Zhao Yi'er, don't be pretended, I have nothing to say in your hands today, how to deal with it." Hua Xiong snorted, he didn't think about running away, but as soon as that thought arose, he was extinguished by the dozen or so sharp spears in front of him.

"The general is General Dong's favorite general, if I kill you, General Dong will definitely hate me to the bone. As for what to do with you, let me discuss it with General Dong. “

At this time, the herald came: "General, General Lu invites you to the camp to discuss matters." ”

Zhao Yi beckoned his soldiers to stab Hua Xiong with a spear if he acted recklessly, but he couldn't hurt the vital point. I went to Lu Zhi's camp.

At this time, Lu Zhi and the others were all in the camp, and Lu Zhi did not blame Zhao Yi for being late, compared with his ability, this little problem was insignificant: "Bolai is just right, and a few of us are discussing how to contain Zhang Jiao's defeated army." ”

Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi had different attitudes, staring at Zhao Yi and saying in a cold tone: "Why is General Zhao late, doesn't he take us in his eyes when he makes great contributions?" ”

"The reason why Bo Lai is late, doesn't General Dong know?" Zhao Yi looked at Dong Zhuo without showing weakness.

Dong Zhuo was a little strange: "How do I know the reason why you are late?" ”

"Wouldn't it be shameful that you sent your troops to assassinate Hua Xiong to me last night, and now you're pretending to be here." Saying that, Zhao Yi bowed to Lu Zhi and said: "There is something to tell you about your humble position, in the early hours of last night, Hua Xiong sneaked into our camp, attacked and killed more than ten soldiers of our department, and wanted to assassinate me. ”

Dong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard this: "General, Zhao Yi is a good talker, General Huaxiong was in our military camp last night and never went out. ”

Zhao Yi snorted: "The general is really good at laughing, at this time, Huaxiong was clearly held by our army." At this time, you are in our army, and if you don't believe it, please come to our camp and take a look. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yi said it rightly, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei had already believed it, took a deep look at Dong Zhuo, got up and went to Zhao Yi's camp.

In Zhao Yi's camp, seeing Hua Xiong who was bound by a dirt bag, especially when he saw Hua Xiong wearing a night suit, everyone's faces changed, especially Dong Zhuo, who had just told Hua Xiong not to act recklessly last night, and today he actually broke into such a catastrophe.

"General." When Hua Xiong saw Dong Zhuo, he lowered his head in shame.

Dong Zhuo snorted and turned his head: "Huaxiong's operation, I don't know." ”

Zhao Yi looked at Dong Zhuo with a smile: "Since it is not sent by the general, then how do you think the general should deal with General Huaxiong?" ”

At this time, Dong Zhuo had not yet subdued Lu Bu, Hua Xiong was a first-class general under him, he naturally didn't want Hua Xiong to die, but Hua Xiong's disaster was a bit big, Dong Zhuo didn't know how to save him, and he didn't know how to talk about it.

Hua Xiong wants Zhao Yi's life, will Zhao Yi let go of an assassin who is interested in his life? Dong Zhuo can't.

Dong Zhuo was ruthless: "Deal with it with Bo." ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "Okay, put Huaxiong to death!" ”

The soldiers under him walked out in response and pulled Hua Xiong out of the dirt bag, where he was squeezed by the dirt bag for several hours, and his blood was blocked. Hua Xiong wanted to resist, but he had more than enough strength to do so. The soldiers could only drag themselves out. I tied it with a rope and pressed it out.

What made everyone strange was that Zhao Yi's lieutenant Yang Yu actually stood up and stopped the executing soldiers: "My lord, General Huaxiong did something wrong because of the many casualties in his department, and he was not angry in his heart, and his feelings are pitiful, please let General Huaxiong go." ”

Dong Zhuo and Hua Xiong looked at Yang Yu gratefully, and said in their hearts, I didn't expect that there was such a reasonable person under Zhao Yi's account, and this person should be a good friend.

Zhao Yi helped Yang Yu up: "General Yang, what Hua Xiong wants is the general's life, let him go, wouldn't it be to let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”

Yang Yu pleaded again: "Lord Huaxiong resisted the Yellow Turban Army in Zhou Village for four hours, and almost all of his subordinates were wiped out. ”

"That's it, what's my Zhao Yi's face, and how can I explain to the dead soldiers?" Zhao Yi snorted and decided to kill Hua Xiong's military might.

Yang Yu sighed and whispered a few words in Zhao Yi's ear. Everyone saw Zhao Yi's angry face slowly turn calm: "I can agree, I don't know what General Dong Zhuo wants?" ”

Dong Zhuo didn't understand what Zhao Yi meant, Yang Yu came over and said a few words in Dong Zhuo's ear, and saw Dong Zhuo nodding with a gloomy face: "Bolai, you and I are in the camp." ”

Watching the two enter the camp, everyone was a little strange, and they didn't know what the two were talking about inside. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yi and the others walked out of the tent, their expressions changed dramatically.

Zhao Yi had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, while Dong Zhuo was pale.

Lu Zhi asked, "The matter is settled?" ”

The last general felt that what Vice Admiral Yang said was reasonable, and was willing to release General Huaxiong. Let's go and discuss the matter of encircling Zhang Jiao. Zhao Yi stretched out his hand and invited these people out of the camp.

Liu Bei was curious, and asked Zhao Yi on the way to the walk: "What did Brother Bolai and General Dong talk about in the camp tent?" Resolved the grievance so quickly? ”

Zhao Yi didn't hide it, and told the truth: "It's nothing more than about the cost of parole, Brother Xuande should understand." When he said this, Zhao Yi also winked at Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei's beard trembled, and the word parole Liu Bei was too familiar, and he suffered two losses on Zhao Yi. Zhang Fei saw Zhao Yi's teasing eyes, and thought that Zhao Yi had pit a lot of money and food on himself, so he was angry, and just about to make a move, he was held down by Liu Bei: "Third brother can't be reckless." He was really afraid that Zhang Fei would make a move, and Zhao Yi would extort some money and food from him.

Zhang Fei snorted angrily and glared at Zhao Yi with big eyes.

Zhang Jiao's department has fled south, and Lu Zhi estimates that Zhang Jiao wants to fight Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao in Yingchuan. Zhonglang generals Huangfu Chong and Zhu Junzheng led an army to fight against Zhang Liang and the others.

Lu Zhi decided to send reinforcements to reinforce the rescue list with everyone, and there were quite a few people who supported Zhao Yi: "Bo Lai is wise and wise, and he is the best candidate." ”

Lu Zhi nodded and agreed: "Bolai is the best candidate, I will send Xuande to go with you, the two of you will be a great thing." ”

Zhao Yi and Liu Bei bowed down to receive the order.

Let the two go back to rest the army, and set to leave the day after tomorrow.

At noon, Zhao Yi and Liu Bei were discussing the route of the march, and Dong Zhuo personally came to Zhao Yi's camp with 10,000 stone of grain and 10,000 pieces of money: "The money and grain have arrived, and Bolai can release them." ”

Zhao Yi hurriedly beckoned the soldiers to release Hua Xiong, and Dong Zhuo turned around and left with a slight bow to Zhao Yi.

Yang Yu stared at the money in the car, his eyes flashed: "My lord, this money? ”

"Don't worry, you work so hard, and your benefits are indispensable." Zhao Yi smiled and ordered the soldiers to press the money and grain into the camp.
